If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yeah I thought so too Ken..when I saw thunders idea I liked it .
So far I'm gonna use my Hasegawa F-104..Tamiya F-15 wings and I'll figure out what to use for the  canards in a wee while. 🤔 😊

The original F-104 wings are so tiny that you could almost use those!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Keep the F-104 tail.
I've got an F-104 in the stash and an old Viggen I built ages ago that just didn't come out right. I see some paint stripper in the future.

I'm gonna keep the tail Ken ..not because I was going to anyway but because your suggestion makes the most sense..I was thinking of what I could or would replace it with and that was annoying cause nothing came to mind..all sorted now but it won't be a T tail of course..so I'll put a spike or something like that on top of it  :thumbsup:

I've been looking at the idea of using F-15 wings and the results are in ..nope..not big enough..well long enough for the job at hand .
What I think will work out best tho are Mirage 2000 wings or Mirage 3 ..ive looked at the 2000's wings and they work beautifully..im gonna see the size difference between that and the Mirage 3 .

Hmmmmmm ??? Is right Ken .
Would have to see the weapons load out on a weasel and see how close you could get with the 104 .
But this is a damn cool idea 💡 😄
